Hi everyone!!
My name is Josh. I am a remodeling contractor living in central PA.
I'm brand spanking new to the forum and to rock tumbling.
I've been reading for the last couple of days and thought I'd say hello.
My daughter was my inspiration to get started tumbling. She is six and my pride and joy! She is always walking around with rocks in her pockets. My wife has a pile in the laundry room that she has pulled out of her clothes or the washing machine. It was the same for me when I was a kid. Even as i grew up i would constantly be pulling chunks of neat rock from random places I would go. I was an explosive engineer for a while and seemed to always find some cool stuff on the jobsites.
Pa is really kind of tough for a rock hound though. Mostly shale and limestone around here.
I have two tumblers already. First I bought a Lortone 3a and after some reading I pulled the trigger on a vibratory diamond Pacific MT-10SV.
Still working on our first batch of stones. I got an assortment from a good seller on eBay and should be done with polish is a couple of days.
Anyway, thanks for looking. Hope to see you around the forum!
